El cyber-bullying y la violencia de género
description
In this paper, we try to analyze the response of the various existing provisions in the Criminal Code against gender violence produced by cyberbullying. We do it by reviewing the literature and analyzing the Criminal Code where we notice a lack of proportionality in relation to the facts involved in the crime, id est, degrading treatment, libel, slander, disclosure of secrets, threats and inducement to suicide in crimes of violence of gender. This happens because there is no specific criminal provision to regulate and criminalize illicit actions derived from this type of attacks on the fundamental rights of the victim on the Internet. The speed of communication, file sharing, messaging and viral effect, for example, linked to the nature of the Internet, have as a result that information can be shared by all Internet users. This introduces an aggravating factor in the crime committed which is not punishable under the current Criminal Code. Therefore, we try to prove that introducing a crime specifically focused on those types of illegal behavior that take place in the Internet would be advisable, either through an aggravating circumstance in the penal provision itself, or through a new penal provision as has been done in the case of the crimes “ex novo” sexting and stalking. The structure of this paper comprises three sections: In the first section we approach the problem. In the second section, we reflect on the concept and traits of cyberbullying. In the third section, we go through the legal and judicial response given by the Criminal Code to this type of criminal offenses.

Por tanto, la menor será el sujeto pasivo de la acción y el menor, el sujeto activo de la acción. Del estudio realizado mediante la revisión de la literatura española y el análisis del Código Penal español se deduce una falta de proporcionalidad de la pena al supuesto de hecho: trato degradante, injurias, calumnias, revelación de secretos, amenazas e inducción al suicidio en los delitos de violencia de género. Esto ocurre a falta de un precepto penal específico que tipifique los ilícitos que provocan este tipo de ataques a los derechos fundamentales de la víctima en Internet. Dadas las características propias de Internet, a saber, la rapidez de comunicación, de intercambio de ficheros, mensajes y su efecto viral, dicha información puede ser compartida por todos los usuarios de Internet. Esto agrava el ilícito alegal. Por tanto, aquí se plantea la necesidad de introducir un supuesto de hecho específico para estos tipos de ilícitos realizados en Internet, bien mediante una agravante en el propio precepto penal o un precepto penal nuevo como se ha hecho con los delitos “ex novo” de sexting y stalking. Este documento se divide en tres partes: la primera plantea el problema. En la segunda parte se habla del concepto y las características del cyber-bullying y en la tercera parte se estudia la respuesta jurídico-penal que otorga el código penal español a este tipo de ilícitos penales. Por último, se extraen las conclusiones.2017text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=6283328(Revista) ISSN 1988-2629Derecom, ISSN 1988-2629, Nº. 23, 2017spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
